Famine - Day #3
1350 calories.
Wow. I vastly underestimated:
* The impact of going straight from bench to OH press without a break.
* Only 1 minute between sets.
* The impact of a really low calorie diet on muscular endurance.
A normal chest workout would start with incline DB bench 3x8-10 using 75s.
A normal shoulder workout would start with DB OH press 3x8-10 using 55s.
Today's workout was humbling. With so little time to recover, I had to decide to either lower the weights or increase the rest time. I chose to do the former and stick to the prescribed times.
---Supersets, 60 seconds rest between sets---
* DB Press (inc/flat/inc/flat): 65x8, 65x8, 50x7, 50x6
---immediately followed by---
* DB OH Press: 50x7, 40x4, 35x7, 35x6
---Tris, 60 seconds rest between sets---
* CG Bench: 95x10
* Skulls: 60x8
* Rope Pushdowns 50x8
I didn't get gassed so much as my shoulders just quit working. In particular, my left shoulder. I had a left side injury several years ago that resulted in a dislocated elbow and a separated shoulder with some RC involvement. When my shoulders start getting tired, I feel some RC pain, and have to stop rather than push through it. So I just kept lowering the weights to the point where there wasn't pain.
I just had to check the ego and lift puny ass weights. I guess that's what famine is for. Consider my body shocked
Not looking forward to Friday...
